My most memorable Elon experience?

My most memorable Elon experience was my tour. Elon was the first university I looked at and I was immediately greeted by smiling faces and a beautiful campus. I got to see first hand how everyone in the community wanted each other to succeed. Most importantly, I felt like Elon wanted me to be a student as much as I wanted to be a student myself.

My favorite Elon Tradition is .... Because...

My favorite tradition at Elon is something called the "pregame" of the home football games. This is before kick off when the cheerleaders, band, and dance team preform a routine to get their fans excited for the game. Everyone unites for the football team and I feel like during this, we really capture the supportive community on Elon's campus.

I chose Elon because...

I was impressed by their School of Communications. But once I arrived on campus, I realized that the university offered so much more. There are endless opportunities in and outside of the classrooms and the community was welcoming and supportive. I shared the same values and morals with the university and just had that gut feeling that this is where I was meant to be.
